In addressing the recent resignation of his friend, Minister of the Interior Gideon Sa'ar, President Reuven Rivlin offered a veiled criticism of Prime Minister Netanyahu during an interview by Channel 10.
"It is always good to enter the High Holidays by taking stock of oneself," Rivlin said, adding, "It would seem that a person would want to know why his friends are pulling back from him, and a person would have to realize that paying attention to what results from his actions would only make things better."
